Monessen's boys' soccer team moved back into a first-place tie in Section 4 A with a 3-1 win over visiting Chartiers-Houston Monday.

The Greyhounds (8-1, 5-1) rebounded from their first loss of the season with the victory.

“The kids stepped up for each other today covering for each other thru injuries and we played with starters out,” Monessen coach Sam Perry said. “Other guys played hard and (assistant coach) Bill (Halinka) and I told them this will make them a better team.”

Justice Rice scored four minutes into the contest to give Monessen an early lead and Zach Picciarelli gave the Hounds a 2-0 lead heading into the half.

After Chartiers-Houston (1-8-2, 1-5-1) cut the Monessen lead to 2-1, Justice Rawlins scored with five minutes left to give the Hounds an insurance goal.

Monessen is home today with Bentworth in another section match.

Yough 2, E. Forward 0

The Cougars (4-4-1, 4-3-1) remained in the Section 3 AA playoff picture with their win over EF ((0-10-1, 0-6-1).

“We had our chances,” EF coach Dave King said. “The opportunities were there but we just didn't finish.”

Both teams have a quick turn around and play road sections matches today as Yough heads to West Mifflin and EF heads to Steel Valley.

Girls

Trinity 1, Ringgold 0

Heading into its Section 4 AAA loss to Trinity, the Lady Rams (2-6, 2-4) were tied with the Lady Hillers for fourth place, a game behind third place Mt. Lebanon.

Now, Ringgold will have an uphill battle it trying to earn a post-season berth.

“We had 18 shots and they had two,” Ringgold coach Tom Cameron said. “We gave them an own-goal.

“But this was the best game we have played all year. We just couldn't put the ball in the back of the net.”
